    I also have to restrain myself from correcting people when they're wrong, and I know they are. It happens all the time. It's very difficult sometimes :o

    I spend a lot of time on a computer and am studying programming.

    Only computer game I play regularly is Nethack.

    I'm public relations officer of the Sci-Fi/Fantasy society in DCU (I didn't even intend to join it when the year began, honestly).

    I know 30 digits of pi.

    Used to be able to do a rubiks cube in under 90 seconds (not a great time compared to most who can do them though), think I'm probably a lot slower since I haven't done it in ages though.

    I fail miserably at conversation, particularly with girls (but also with guys).

    Probably tons more

    When I was a kid a genuinely hoped that I'd wake up one morning and pokemon would be real. And the scary thing is that if I started playing pokemon yellow now or saw an old episode those same feelings would come flooding back.

    I'm a reformed addict...but it wouldn't take much to push me over the edge.:o

    I'm a grammar nazi who will correct people without thinking. That usually comes across as quite a nerd-ish feature.

    But science has proven that someone's postcount is directly proportional to their penis size...

    Play nice guys, the rules here apply to everyone. Now, I'd recommend you all go get some sleep, it's practically the middle of the night.

    I was just joking if that came across as me actually taking offence and insulting him.

    I forgot the most nerdy part of me:
    When I was in primary school, I was on the quiz team, and when I was in 5th class I won the quiz between the entire schhol :)
    But that's not it, in 6th class we had a pretty decent quiz team, good enough to win the all-Ireland quiz :)

    It was the Cadbury NPC quiz, so we won a trip to Birmingham out of it. That was class.

    I'm sorry to say that I was a bit embarassed by that for a while, but now I''m really proud of it. Plus my trophy is kick-ass :cool:

    I was like this too. Though I wouldn't be able to come anywhere near naming them all. Maybe slightly more than half :D.

    Seychelles flag is awesome btw. My favourite by a long way.

    The Kiribati flag is pretty cool too:

    Heh, I was in a quiz team in primary school too. When I was in 4th class we got to the national final of the Credit Union school's quiz. Unfortunately, as far as I remember, we came 2nd-last in that final. :o We won a good few trophies in other quizzes though.
    I love table quizzes but seldom get a chance to do them.
